UK vehicle production decreases 13.6% to 67,415 units in January
On February 27, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) announced that the number of UK vehicle production for January decreased 13.6% over the previous year to 67,415 units. Passenger car production was down 8.2% to 65,249 units and commercial vehicle production was down 68.6% to 2,166 units year over year (y/y).
Vehicle exports decreased 14.6% (y/y) to 52,433 units and domestic sales decreased 9.8% (y/y) to 14,982 units. The percentage of export was 77.8%.
Mike Hawes, CEO of SMMT said "Weak exports to markets beyond Europe amid soft demand delivered a disappointing start to the year for UK vehicle manufacturing. It reinforces the need for a forward-looking trade agenda that secures existing preferential access - notably with the biggest market on our doorstep given protectionist ‘Made in Europe’ proposals - and builds new ones with markets worldwide. That must be combined with more competitive conditions for UK manufacturing - lower energy costs, a strong and sustainable domestic market, and specific support for our supply chain."
